Mr. Harry Kindle, the young man
who was so severely injured by the cars
some time since, had his leg amputated
on last Wednesday and died on Saturday
night. The operation was deemed the
only chance saving his life, as gangrene
had set in but his system had been too
severely tried to stand the shock. The
amputation was in the upper third of
the thigh, which is a very critical oper-
alton under any circumstances, and in
this case case proved fatal. Every
thing was done to save the life of the
unfortunate young man, that medical
skill could suggest but without avail
Statesmen.
OUR BEST WISHES ATTEND HIM.
Wednesday last Father McKeefry
started for New York, and from
there, uta steamer, he will set sail
for his native country, Ireland where
once again he can see his aged faith
er and rejoice in the scenes of his
youth. During his absence Father
Luche will have charge of parish af-
fairs. Father McKeefry was in need
of rest. and we hope he may find
both rest and enjoyment on the Bon
ny Green Isle, even though his heart
and feeling must rebel against the
injustice and the inhuman treat
ment shown to his countrymen. We
wish him a safe return.
THERE must be something done to
get rid of the miserable pavements of
the town. Now, the corporation
election is coming on. You men who
have had your clothes ruined and
your temper spoiled simply because
you have stepped in hudpuddle or
upon loose -brick-now is the hour of
your vengeance Men who rent stores,
now is the time to have the pave
ments in condition that customers
can come to your business places, as
we'll when the weather is inclem-
ent, as when the sun is shining. Pick
out the man who will vote to enforce
the ordinance in regard to pavements.
Don't mind friendly relations, vote for
self-protection. When you go up to
the poles think of your light panta-
looms from which you have SO often
brushed huge splotches of mud, think
of your blackened shoes, spotted as q
leopards skin, by the gentle mud
drops; think of tho disagreeable, I'M
healthy effects on your wives and sis
ters; think of the Recommendations of
strangers think of all these, and you
can't help but vote for pavement
councilmen. We mean to make the
fight personally on this plan, and
hope all our friends will do likewise.
Destruction to the present old pave
ments Stand up to your rights, sand
the side walks will yet be passable.
